ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – The shooter in the mass murder of at least six people in Tucson, Arizona has been identified as 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner.
Loughner reportedly opened fire on a gathering at a Tucson grocery store this morning, killing an untold number and wounding more than a dozen, including a federal judge and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Loughner was described as a white male with short hair and dark clothing.
A Myspace page, written in the past tense and attributed to a “Jared Loughner” of Tucson, reads, “Schools:I attended school: Thornydale elementary,Tortolita Middle School, Mountain View High school, Northwest Aztec Middle College, and Pima Community College. Interests: My favorite interest was reading, and I studied grammar. Conscience dreams were a great study in college! Movies:(*My idiom: I could coin the moment!*) Music
ass me the strings! Books:I had favorite books: Animal Farm, Brave New World, The Wizard Of OZ, Aesop Fables, The Odyssey, Alice Adventures Into Wonderland, Fahrenheit 451, Peter Pan, To Kill A Mockingbird, We The Living, Phantom Toll Booth, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Pulp,Through The Looking Glass, The Communist Manifesto, Siddhartha, The Old Man And The Sea, Gulliver’s Travels, Mein Kampf, The Republic, and Meno.”
A Facebook page for Loughner was removed around 4:20 p.m. Saturday. The above photo was pulled from that page.
On a Myspace page apparently maintained by Loughner, he said goodbye to friends and said, "Please don't be mad at me... I cannot rest."
Authorities said the shooter was in custody.
Loughner reportedly made several YouTube videos with walls of text protesting the government and ranting against low literacy rates.
